T all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, CAREY A. CHESHIRE, a citizen of the United States, and a resi- ,dent of the city of Chicago, county of Cook,

,and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Addressing-Machines, of which the following is a specification. I

My invention relates to improvements in feeding mechanism especially adapted for use in conjunction with addressing machines, and has for its object the provision of an improved mechanism of this character which is simple and efiicient in Operation, the present application being a division of my prior application filed January 19, .1917, Serial provided in table 4. Suitable feed mechations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which,

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a machine embodying my invention,

Fig. 2, a front elevation of the same with parts removed, and

Fig. 3, a horizontal section of the same.

The preferred form of construction, as illustrated in the drawings, comprises a suitable feed table 4 having two feed chains 5 arranged to travel thereunder, said feed chains 5 being provided with upstanding feed pins 6 operating through suitable slots nism 4: is arranged to deposit articles, such as magazines, on table 4: between the pins 6, said articles being fed or conveyed along said table by said pins; The feeding mechanism 4 is fully described in my said prior application, and needs no further description here. Aprinting table 7 is arranged at the-discharge end of the feed table 4 toreceive the magazines fed therefrom, said printing table bgingequipped with two end: less belt conveyers 8 operating over the top of table '7 as indicated, and traveling at .a

faster speed than chains 5. Table '7 is equipped with a stop 9 adapted to limit the table 7 being equipped with suitable print- Patented Mar. 18, 1919.

ing mechanism as more fully set forth in my said prior application. Table 7 is equipped with drop or feed-out rollers 10 adapted to discharge the printed articles onto a suitable conveyer 11-, as more fully set forth in my said prior application.

By this arrangement, the magazines will be removed by the action of the belts 8 from the domination of the feed pins 6 and frictionally fed to position against the stop 9, where they-\will be held by the frictional action of said belts during the printing operation.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into efiect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. The combination with apositively opcrating conveyer, of a frictionally operating conveyercooperating therewith and operating at faster speed; and a stop cooperating with said frictionally operating conveyer to stop and position articles carried thereby, substantially as described.

2. The combination with endless chain conveyers having positively operating conveying pins thereon; frictionally operating conveyer belts cooperating with said chains and operating at faster speed; and a stop cooperating with said'belts to stop and position articles carried thereby, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my -Witnesses: I
